retitle 252170 XStringToKeysym() call causes segfault
thanks

The interesting part of the strace is:
[...]
mkdir("/tmp/xmms-xf86audio/", 0755) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
mkdir("/tmp/xmms-xf86audio/K1", 0755) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
mkdir("/tmp/xmms-xf86audio/K1-0", 0755) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
[...]

Which corresponds to the following bits of code:

| static void plugin_init()
| {
| mkdir(P, 0755);
| grab_keys();
| }
| [...]
| static void grab_keys()
| {
| KeyCode code;
|
| mkdir(P "K1", 0755);
| if ((code = grab_key("XF86AudioNext")) != 0)
| map[XF86AUDIO_NEXT] = code;
| mkdir(P "K2", 0755);
| [...]
| }
| [...]
| static KeyCode grab_key(char *keystring)
| {
| KeySym sym;
| KeyCode code;
|
| mkdir(P "K1-0", 0755);
| sym = XStringToKeysym(keystring);
| mkdir(P "K1-1", 0755);
| [...]
| }

So it looks like it's XStringToKeysym() that segfaults. Why? Were there any
changes between 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 and 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 which could have fixed that?
Or maybe it's some dynamic linking error? But that should have been caught by
dlopen(), when loading the plugin, right?

Should I reassign this bug to libx11-6 ?
